WHO WE ARE
For production teams such as TV programs, movies, commercials, dramas, or magazines that come to Japanese for coverage and filming, as well as for private journalists or photographers, we offer our accompaniment to the filming location to support in any and all facets. By collaborating with our unique network expanding from the Tokyo Metropolitan area to all throughout Japan to include public facilities, private facilities, members of the filming business, affiliates, and region locals, we serve as a point of contact to support the smooth production of television programs, film, dramas, commercials, and so on.
